Our Itinerary

So here's a brief run down of our plans for this trip. It's a little up in the air but it'll give a good overview of what we'll be doing.

Indonesia (30 days):
Fly into Jakarta on May 21st, relax for a few days. Our climbing buddy Greg will be meeting us in Jakarta and may join us for a portion of this trip. Take a train to Yogyakarta to see Borobodur and other cultural highlights of Java. Then take a bus across the island to hike up Gunung Bromo and then hop over to the island of Bali. In Bali we will be getting dive certified and enjoy the beaches as well as going to Bali's "cultural heart" Ubud. Once our visa of 30 days expires we'll head out to Malaysia.

Malaysia (2.5 weeks):
Arrive in Kuala Lumpur and hang out there for a day before heading over to the Malaysian state of Sabah in Borneo! While there we will try to arrange a trip to climb Mt. Kinabulu which is the highest mountain in SEA and then go camping in the rainforest near Sandakan. Eventually we'll make it out to Semporna for diving in the nearby islands. We're currently waitlisted for diving at Sipadan as it is regulated by the government. From there we'll fly back out to Kuala Lumpur, spend a night and fly up to krabi in Thailand!

Thailand (2-3 weeks):
Here our plans get more hazy. We plan to spend roughly 2-3 weeks in Southern Thailand enjoying the beaches there. Perhaps Ko Phi Phi? Then we'll head up to Bangkok and prepare to do an overland crossing into Cambodia.

Cambodia (2-3 weeks):
While in Cambodia we plan to check out Siem Reap and the surrounding temple complex of Angkor Wat. We'll also head over to Phnom Penh. We grab our Vietnam visas here and head overland to Vietnam.

Vietnam (3-4 weeks):
Spend about 3-4 weeks exploring the length of Vietnam. Maybe get some nice formal wear made and ship it home? Definitely would like to check out ha Long Bay and I'v eheard good things about Sa Pa. Next we overland to Laos.

Laos (2-3 weeks):
Explore here for about 2 weeks. Haven't quite figured it out as it's far in the future. We'll then head south to Thailand

Thailand (2-3 weeks):
Explore the northern portion such as Chiang Mai. Then prepare to fly out to Nepal

Nepal (30 days):
Arrive in Kathmandu and get things in order for our ~20 day Annapurna circuit trek! Once we're done, and if we have enough time we might try to do some white water rafting there as well. After all that we fly back to Thailand for a few days and then proceed Home!
